The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Spirit with purple = insta grab for every survivor

Apparently with just purple - not even ultra rare - addons, the Spirit can extend the travel distance while fading and remove completely any sound while phasing, this without any counter-benefit to balance.

This simply resulted in zero chases because all the survivors got caught instantly while doing gens.

So my match was to unhook everyone and occasionally juke and lose her (by chance I was playing a zero-traces build), but she managed to get 3 kills and only 3 gens were done.

This is directly related to the addons rather than any form of skill on the killer side.

Good job devs! :)

    She's talking about the Prayer Beads.

    It wasn't zero skill on the killers part, it was you all being bad and having no situational awareness. This is quite simply a learn to play issue, not a killer issue.

    Zero skill.
    I can tell you cause she couldnt get me even once.
    Without addons she was nothing.

    Im a killer main, and a fan of the spirit, and I actually agree with you on this one :) That addon is extremely strong for a purple and there is not any real counterplay.

    I'm only lvl 17 with the Spirit and haven't run into this add-on yet. I assume you just phase to a gen where you hear the repair and look for the snatch?

    Yes. That is how it works. They do not have any indication you are there but you can hear them working on the gen so you pull them off.

    Spine Chill, Object of Obsession, actually listening, actually paying attention to the environment. It is indeed a powerful add-on, but dont spread your lies.

    You mean the no counter play like Premonition and Spine Chill? Or do you mean Iron Will?

    Yes because running certain perks is outplaying someone. If you are on the game map, there is literally no counterplay to this addon at all. If you are doing a gen in any building there is no counterplay, at all.

    @PigNRun "actually listening" do you know what addon we are talking about? it literally says it removes the sound she makes, you cannot "listen"

    It's because you don't understand what he's talking about. He doesn't mean the spirit sounds, he means things like the grass which are quite loud.

    Oh yeah my bad i forgot i was supposed to hear the slight movement of the grass whilst working on my generator, and oh yeah, refer to my other comment on gens in buildings or on the game map.

    You can also see the grass moving, if grass movement and hearing it isn't enough for you then this is a skill issue and that's all. He's also wasting a very-rare addon, that's like me complaining about your ultra-rare BNP.

    Lastly, let's not cite a couple niche maps out of literally dozens. Just because there might be like 2 maps that make it harder to handle isn't a justification for it being a problem. Even then, you can use Premonition or Spine Chill to completely negate her on those maps.

    Then shall we talk about Balanced Landing in The Game? Claudette in dark maps? Stealth killers in Lery's? Trapper in Macmillan Estate?

    Maps will always favour a certain gameplay. Thats how it is and wont change.

    I think bnps should be removed from the game too. I think insta heals should be removed. I think myers unlimited tier 3 should be removed. And yeah there is shack gens, And looking at the grass? foreal? For how fast she is, there is a major chance you get pulled off regardless. And yeah because I know what map the game is going to choose, and what killer i will be playing against so ill run those perks for those instances (sarcasm)

    I have about 500 hours of killer and 200 of survivor and have hit rank 1 on killer and 5 on survivor. You are irrational. I think you need to play against or with this addon and see how unfair it actually is in practice.

    Thats cool, however im sure you can agree my time in game is enough to understand the game :) Im not calling for it to be removed or anything, but i do not believe "listening to the grass" or "seeing the grass move" is enough to outdo this addon.

    I just think that addon is entirely reasonable for it being a very-rare and has ways to beat it. I don't see why you wouldn't want to use something like premonition/spine chill/iron will if this addon is such an issue.

    Oh well you didn't say that originally. If that's the case I could totally get behind that. I personally think her Ultra-Rares are trash. Most her very-rares like that one are better imo.

    Well that ended much better than it started lol. Just make another thread with the topic of wanting to get the devs to switch her addon rarities. That would have been a better idea to get across.

    Sounds like your teammates were careless. Even with the add-on you can watch for grass movement and get off the gen before she grabs you. I actually like this addon as both killer and survivor since it makes the game more scary.

    So many triggered killers without reason....

    My point is: A mediocre killer wiped away 3\4 of survs without chases due to a very rare (not ultra) addon.

    So many touchy babies...

    Spine Chill. Premonition. Don't just randomly run everywhere. If you are injured and in a chase and don't hear a heartbeat or woosh then just assume you are being followed.

    It's powerful, I'd say it should be pink instead of the glasses, but it's not unbeatable.

    What if no one has been hooked. What if no one is currently on the hook. You are also wasting your own time by not working on a gen.
